The defrost on the FUF14DL is an adaptive defrost system. Defrost is going to be based on usage. The defrost system activates a defrost heater in the evaporator section at the rear of the freezer compartment. This heater melts frost off of the evaporator coils and then turns off. During defrost there will be no running sounds, no fan noise and no compressor noise. Most models will defrost for approximately 25 to 45 minutes, usually once or twice a day. You may hear water dripping or sizzling as it hits the heater. This is normal and helps evaporate the water before it gets to the drip pan. When the defrost heater is on, it is normal to see a red, yellow or orange glow from the freezer. There is not a specific internal temperature during defrost. In or out of a defrost cycle, the freezer is designed to maintain food temperature in the freezer at the temperature range listed in the Specs: Temperature Range -6 F to 6 F.
